Cheng Yuanzhi, a graduate student in the Department of History, accidentally traveled to the late Eastern Han Dynasty and became a commander of the same name in the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, the defeat of the Yellow Turbans was certain, and he fled in panic with the remaining troops. However, relying on modern knowledge and extraordinary courage, he managed step by step in the troubled times: collecting refugees, building armaments, seizing salt fields, seizing cities, and gradually building up a powerful army from Bohai to Qingzhou.
He treated the people well, promoted farming, improved weapons, and became better at using strategies - defeating more county soldiers with less, using clever strategies to recruit surrendered generals, and surviving tenaciously in the cracks of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and other princes. From struggling for survival to separatist rule, Cheng Yuanzhi proved with every victory that in troubled times, only people's support and strength are the foundation for a foothold. This is a legend of a little man fighting for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms and changing his fate against the odds.
A perfect Hail Mary.
